Cliches and figures of speech

Post Reply New Topic

Is there a list of cliches and figures of speech on the internet with their meanings? Whenever someone uses one in an article or book it always confuses me. Thanks.

Thank you EvilKim.

I've had luck typing in the google bar phrase I don't understand definition
ie: hairy dog story definition. I'd been wondering what that meant for forty years. I love the Internet!

I've done this with jump the shark, woot, Sophie's choice, etc.

I like to collect word and phrase origins.

The internet is awasome. I'm always looking stuff up with google or wikipedia so I don't feel out of the loop.
